*BUMP* Should we just continue on this thread and rename it the Weight Loss Group?

Target weight of 14 stone 7 lbs which would be the top end of a healthy BMI...depressingly that would put be at the same weight as Sol Campbell in his peak!But in terms of what I'd be happy with, I think to get to 16 stone would make me happy.

Given that by the beginning of 2014 I was a massive 22st 7lbs, I'm astonished that I'm now 15st 7lbs. I'm proud of myself, but think I can shift that extra stone. Anyone else make progress?

New to this thread and will need to read over it, but damn that's brilliant 7st. Just wanted to say congrats.

I could do that if other people are in agreement.

I lost just over a stone at the beginning of 2014, then stalled and lost motivation. I was much bigger than I'd liked to have been when I got married, but I've come to terms with it. I've kept the stone and a bit off, but I'm still trying to rediscover that motivation to lose more. I would still ideally like to shift 4 stone. I'm conscious that I'm creeping towards the time when I'll need a hip replacement and they won't do it if I'm too big.

I think I'm going to have to join a gym if I want to make any more progress as I've pretty much plateau'd at the 100kg mark, but in London it's pretty expensive so will have to make a big commitment to it - I'm worried about being a boring gym guy though. If you ever hear me use the phrase 'protein shake', shoot me.

I use the 30 Day Shred thing but the woman on it is INCREDIBLY annoying. It's sort of aimed at women to be honest, but it's a 20 minute intense work out plus warm up / cool down, which makes it ideal for me.

You are a disgrace and I'm looking forward to when someone you respect dies so I can rub your liberal face in it.

The women in my Hitched forum group talk about weight loss on an almost daily basis. I veer between joining in and staying clear of the subject. I suspect I'll be the same here, as always. Some days it's just better for my mental health to not think about it. Still struggling to find a balance and I'm not sure if I ever will. Hey ho.
